Are you a Member or Fellow who could spare a few hours each month? The Membership Assessment Panel is currently looking to recruit new assessors to help with the increasing number of applications for membership and the expansion of our professional registers.
An assessor's role involves examining new applications to determine eligibility for Membership (MIFST) and Fellowship (FIFST), and the Science Council's Registers - Chartered Scientist, Registered Scientist and Registered Science Technician. It may also involve scrutinising registrants' CPD records as part of the Science Council's annual revalidation process. The time commitment will vary but we anticipate that assessors will be asked to review a maximum 3 or 4 applications per month, in addition to attending 2-3 virtual meetings a year with other assessors. Full training will be provided.
The following are essential qualities required for the role:
-
ensuring confidentiality at all times
-
be either a Fellow or Member of IFST
-
have experience in the food or related industries, academia, consultancy or government agencies.
-
possess good analytical skills
-
possess good communication skills
These roles are voluntary; however, expenses (travel and subsistence) will be paid in accordance with IFST expenses policy if required.
If this is something that you are interested in or would like more information, please send a brief CV to membership@ifst.org
